Miata Intersects 11.3 m at 3.58 g/t Gold and Further Expands Jons Trend Footprint at the Sela Creek Gold Project, Suriname

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Miata Metals Corp. (CSE:MMET) (FSE: 8NQ) (OTCQB:MMETF) ("Miata" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional drill results from the Jons Trend zone at its Sela Creek Gold Project ("Sela Creek") in Suriname.Results from the first four holes of the 2026 drill program continue to expand the existing discovery and have increased the Jons Trend mineralized footprint by approximately 20%, while remaining open for further expansion in all directions. The newly reported holes confirm extension of higher-grade mineralization across the northern portion of the system and increase the lateral extent of the zone from 250 m to 300 m.HighlightsFirst four holes of 2026 reported from Jons Trend:32 m at 1.20 grams per tonne (g/t) gold in 26DDH-JT-001 from 50 m, and8.7 m at 3.47 g/t gold in 26DDH-JT-001 from 126 mincluding 0.7 m at 31.37 g/t gold from 128.16 m11.3 m at 3.58 g/t gold in 26DDH-JT-002 from 180 mincluding 0.9 m at 30.40 g/t gold from 181 m17.3 m at 1.65 g/t gold in 26DDH-JT-004 from 39 mJons Trend lateral extent increased by 20% to 300 mHigh-grade mineralization confirmed along northern extent of Jons TrendAll intervals herein reported as true width, reflecting improved structural understanding"With each successive drill hole, Jons Trend is growing in size from a single discovery zone into a large, structurally controlled gold system of multiple gold zones with both bulk-tonnage potential and discrete high-grade zones of mineralization," stated Dr. Jaap Verbaas, CEO of Miata. "The previously reported wide step-outs and now confirmed 300 m lateral extent of Jons Trend demonstrate strong lateral continuity, while repeated high-grade intervals above 30 g/t gold are tracking higher-grade zones within the broader mineralized envelopes. Importantly, Jons Trend represents only a small portion of the approximately 14 km of documented artisanal mining trend across Sela Creek. With a second drill rig on site, the Company can continue systematic expansion drilling at Jons Trend while concurrently testing multiple high-priority targets across the concession, including Puma, Big Berg, and Cambior. Sela Creek is increasingly demonstrating the characteristics of a potentially district-scale gold system with substantial exploration upside remaining."Figure 1.

These holes increase the lateral extent of the mineralized zones from 250 m to 300 m and intersect multiple high-grade zones within broader mineralized envelopes.Two notable high-grade intercepts, were intersected in separate drill holes:8.7 m at 3.47 g/t Au in 26DDH-JT-001 from 126 m11.3 m at 3.58 g/t Au in 26DDH-JT-002 from 180 mThese intercepts confirm continuity of higher-grade mineralization across the expanded width of the target and demonstrate that Jons Trend remains open to the north. Jons Trend is also open to depth and along strike.Longer intervals of mineralization are characterized by extensive silicification and sulphide mineralization within shear zone intercepts. Notable broad zones include:32.0 m at 1.20 g/t Au in 26DDH-JT-001 from 50 m17.3 m at 1.65 g/t Au in 26DDH-JT-004 from 39 mShorter, high-grade intervals are associated with quartz-chlorite-pyrite-pyrrhotite extensional veins within the broader shear system. These veins occur within a strongly altered package marked by silica, chlorite, white mica, and locally biotite alteration, with accessory titanite. Gold mineralization is typically associated with chlorite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite disseminations adjacent to and concentrated along locally boudinaged quartz veins.Jons Trend is hosted within tightly folded metasedimentary rocks metamorphosed to upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies. Fold axes follow a strong northeast to southwest trend. Two orientations of gold-bearing shear zones crosscut the folded package, one fold-parallel and the other slightly oblique, providing structural traps for mineralization.Table 1.

Tiger Gold Intersects Potential Feeder Zone Beneath Tesorito Mineral Resource with 16.9 m @ 2.3 g/t Au and 0.25% Cu, including 6 m @ 4.1 g/t Au and 0.43% Cu, within 89.96 m @ 0.9 g/t Au

Tiger Gold Intersects Potential Feeder Zone Beneath Tesorito Mineral Resource with 16.9 m @ 2.3 g/t Au and 0.25% Cu, including 6 m @ 4.1 g/t Au and 0.43% Cu, within 89.96 m @ 0.9 g/t Au

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 24, 2026 /CNW/ - Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV:TIGR) (FSE: D150) (OTCQB:TGRGF) ("Tiger" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from two drillholes from its ongoing diamond drilling campaign at the Tesorito deposit at its Quinchía Gold Project in Colombia. The Quinchía Gold Project is located in central Colombia's prolific Mid-Cauca gold belt, approximately 20 kilometres south of Aris Mining's Marmato Gold Mine and Collective Mining's Apollo deposit.Highlights:TSDH-71 intersected 89.96 m grading 0.9 g/t Au from 426 m downhole.Contained within this zone was a meaningful Au-Cu-Mo porphyry sub-interval of 16.9 m grading 2.3 g/t Au, 0.25% Cu, and 158 ppm Mo.Including 6 m grading 4.1 g/t Au, 0.43% Cu, and 302 ppm Mo.This mineralization is not typical of the main Tesorito deposit and may be the feeder zone.These intervals are beneath the current Mineral Resource and are at grades substantially higher-than-modelled and follow-up drilling has commenced with TSDH-80.TSDH-70 intersected 79 m at 0.6 g/t Au from 2 m downhole.Two rigs continue infill and extension drilling at Tesorito, with assays pending from 4 holes.A third rig continues drilling at Dos Quebradas, with assays from the first hole pending.Robert Vallis, President & CEO, commented, "TSDH-71 has delivered a genuinely exciting result at depth, which was a key objective of our initial drill program at Tesorito. We intersected a robust 90-metre interval grading 0.9 g/t Au below the current Mineral Resource, including a 16.9-metre interval averaging 2.3 g/t Au with meaningful copper and molybdenum values – a mineralizing event previously not observed and may be the feeder zone for the Tesorito porphyry system. This interval speaks to the fertility and prospectivity of the Quinchía Project and provides a new high-priority target that we are following up with additional drilling now."Drilling results are summarized in Table 1 and 2 near the end of this release. Figure 1 is a map of drillhole locations and Figure 2 is a cross-section of the reported results. Figure 3 is a regional map showing the deposits and high-priority prospects of the Quinchía Gold Project.TSDH-71 Intersects Potential Feeder Zone with Follow-Up Drilling UnderwayDrillhole TSDH-71 was designed to test down-dip extensions of the Tesorito block model below the base of the Mineral Resource's conceptual pit shell, in support of potential future resource growth, and to follow up on previously identified vectors at depth. The hole intersected a broad 89.96-metre interval averaging 0.9 g/t Au below the current Mineral Resource. This interval extends to the interpreted contact with the Marmato Fault at the end of the hole.Of particular interest within this broader interval is a 16.9-metre interval (455.1-472 m) averaging 2.3 g/t Au, 0.25% Cu, and 158 ppm Mo, including a higher-grade 6-metre interval (456-462 m) averaging 4.1 g/t Au, 0.43% Cu, and 302 ppm Mo. These copper and molybdenum grades are substantially higher than what is typically observed at Tesorito, which is characterised as a gold-dominant porphyry system with trace silver and molybdenum.This interval coincides with the interpreted transition into an intrusive-dominated porphyry corridor, moving from the andesite into an early diorite and intrusive breccia sequence. Core logging in this section records a strong potassic alteration assemblage with moderate chlorite-sericite overprint and porphyry-style veining, including chalcopyrite-bearing veinlets with magnetite and local A-type veinlets, together with gypsum veins and copper- and molybdenum-bearing sulphides (chalcopyrite +/- molybdenite). Chalcopyrite content is estimated at 0.7% to 1.0% by volume within the early diorite and intrusive breccia, and the Company interprets this alteration and veining assemblage as the primary control on the higher-grade Au-Cu mineralization observed in this section. The Company believes these results are consistent with a distinct mineralizing event and may represent the feeder zone to the Tesorito porphyry system, which provides a new high-priority target for follow-up drilling.Core logging from TSDH-78, drilled above TSDH-71 on the same section line, has identified an interval with similar porphyry-style mineralization and veining characteristics. Assays are pending and will be reported following receipt, quality control review, and interpretation. TSDH-80 is also underway from the same drill pad as TSDH-71 but at a steeper inclination, to test the down-dip extension of this new mineralizing event.The Company continues to integrate these results into its exploration modelling and is advancing follow-up drilling to test the continuity, geometry, and controls of this discovery and further evaluate its significance within the broader Tesorito system.TSDH-71 also tested a narrow down-dip extension with a modelled width of approximately 20 metres, projected to be intersected beginning at approximately 370 metres downhole. Assays through this interval indicate that the relatively higher-grade zone pinches out down-dip in this location. Importantly, this interval lies outside the current Mineral Resource estimate and is not expected to affect the estimate.TSDH-70 Confirms Eastern Margin Continuity with 79 m at 0.6 g/t AuHole TSDH-70 was designed to test the shallow eastern limits of the Tesorito block model in a previously sparsely drilled area. The hole intersected 79 metres averaging 0.6 g/t Au from 2 metres downhole, confirming near-surface mineralization at the eastern margin of the system. Mineralization in the reported interval is associated with B-type quartz-magnetite-pyrite veinlets with minor chalcopyrite and is accompanied by potassic alteration with a chlorite-sericite overprint observed from approximately 26 to 79 metres downhole, consistent with the interpreted porphyry-style mineralizing system at Tesorito.More Results Expected Shortly as Drilling Continues at Tesorito and Dos QuebradasDrilling continues at Tesorito with two diamond drill rigs, and additional assay results are pending from three holes with two additional holes being drilled now. At Dos Quebradas, a third rig has commenced its second hole, with assays pending from the first hole. These programs reflect the Company's strategy to systematically test high-impact targets across the Quinchía Gold Project and support potential future Mineral Resource growth.Tesorito Drill Program Targets Resource Growth and Improved ConfidenceThe Tesorito drill program is designed to improve confidence in the Mineral Resource and to test margins and depth extensions to expand known mineralization. Drilling includes both step-out and infill components, with infill drilling intended to support upgrading a significant portion of the Inferred Mineral Resource to the Indicated category and advance the project towards a pre-feasibility or feasibility-level study. A summary of Mineral Resources and the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Quinchía Gold Project is provided below.Table 1: TSDH-70 and TSDH-71 Assays ResultsDrillholeFromToIntervalTrue WidthAuAgCuMoID(m)(m)(m)(m)(g/t)Full story available on Benzinga.com

Suing for Social Media Addiction: Mark Zuckerberg takes the Stand

It’s not a rare thing to see the founder of Facebook ducking and weaving before the irate comments of Congress as he explains, for yet another time, why his network does not harm, has no intention to harm and, if harm arose, it was unforeseen and unintended. This dance of mendacity has been going on [...]

Letters, Feb. 24

Canada is grieving its loss to the U.S. in the Olympic gold-medal game. The outcome of the game wasn’t an indicator of the U.S. team being better. Three-man overtime is often a case where a lucky bounce determines the outcome. I love hockey, but it’s sad when Canada’s national identity and self-worth seems to depend on the outcome of a single hockey game.
